Postdoctoral Fellow Interview

I applied online. The process took a week – interviewed at University of Washington.

Interview Details

I found my job on naturejobs. I e-mailed an application and had one phone interview. After the phone interview all correspondence was through e-mail. Upon arrival and the workplace I was asked to give a presentation to the lab on my previous research. I was already hired so this was informal. I have since learned that this occurs before hiring in most cases.

Interview Questions

None, the interview was very straight forward. I was asked about my past research and lab experience.View Answer

I applied online. The process took a day – interviewed at University of Washington in January 2008.

Interview Details

It was a standard presentation for such positions in very nice atmosphere. 45 minutes scientific talk in front of the research group and 1:1 discussion with PI about research projects, possibilities at UW for collaborations, expectations, work time (which is idealistic for such a position, as it always exceeds), help trough techs etc. Very collaborative atmosphere, unfortunaely only talked to PI and not to any other institutional professors
